Who writes this stuff? A product of public edducasion no doubt.
As far as Fairbanks goes ,”These days, health care, tourism, and mining dominate the economy” Nuts! The main segment of the Fairbanks economy is government.
The population is NOT 95K plus. That is the population of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. (Somewhat analagous to a county.) A borough is an a$$ that rides a taxpayer!
NO it is not on the same meridian (oops! a meridian is a line of longitiude) as the arctic circle. If it was on the same lattitude as the arctic circle it would be on the arctic circle. The actual artic circle is several hours drive north of Fairbanks.
And yep, it does get cold I’ve worked outside in -65.
BTW I don’t live there. I go there to shop and then escape.
Don't tell me that the article made that embarrassing blunder!
Instantly loses all legitimacy.
